Today In The History Of Polt's Comic Book Collection
Today we travel back 34 years to February 1992, and Impact Comics' The Fly #9.
In the Golden Age of comics, there was a line of comics featuring some superheroes. Those heroes were published several times over the years, under different imprints, as different characters, but the same names.
In the early 90s, DC comics had acquired the rights to them and relaunched them again under the Impact Comics banner. Titles like The Shield, The Comet, The Jaguar, The Web, The Black Hood and...the Fly.
I collected them all. The entire run of every issue. They only lasted about a year I think. They were fun and I think written for a younger audience. There was no darkness, no anti-heroes, no questionable moral issues. It was simple, yet adventurous and as I said fun. And I think that's why it didn't sell. Readers wanted The Dark Knight Returns, they wanted The Watchmen...not this stuff.
But it was fun for me, while it lasted
